What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to meet the new potential client/cat parent about a month out if possible. Go through everything related to the needs of the furkids. Ask if they have any questions for me.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I’m very aware of the the front door where I am entering the location in that I don’t want any furkids slipping out. I open that door gently and slowly so if any furkids are on the other side, it gently pushes them back but also I make sure no little babe is sitting there ready to bounce out the door. I check windows to make sure that the furkids won’t fall out an open window or even a screen. Safety first always with these little guys.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Soft voice always. Just sit and see if the cat will come to me using a soft voice. I’m slow and gentle with all animals. I never rush them. They need time to get to know me; to learn my voice.
